Uberhood (103) - Burb

Another birthday. This time it's Benjamin Burb's turn. 🎂🎈

Among the guests were also family members like his cousins Angela and Lilith, and his uncle Daniel Pleasant. 😊

This was so funny. While playing the game I was listening to Spotify, when I checked what Jennifer and John were doing, I found them dancing while this exact song was running in the background. It was hilarious. Idk it just totally gave me that "parents having fun" vibe. 😅

Which Pleasantview Man Has Your Heart?

personally, I would love to know why as well! Please feel free to reblog or explain in the tags! 🤍

Hello! It's my forty-sixth download!

I pulled Benjamin Burb from Pleasantview to Bodyshop, Enjoy!

I want to clarify that I did the cloning due to Carrit's 2019 mod, Completely Resurrectable base-games hoods (& optional extras), and due to his words in the comments he said that his mod can be used freely as long as it not in paid means, without anything else to add, thanks for you contribution, without it would not have been able to clone and export the Sim. https://modthesims.info/d/626495/completely-resurrectable-base-game-hoods-amp-optional-extras.html

Remember, If you like it, reblog the post!;)

Back to the Beginning of Pleasantview! We finally meet the other half of Kynda Pleasant, Les Pleasant! And he really is less pleasant... Not that Kynda minds! Babby is formed. Gretle Goth comes over for a dip in the pool, and we hire a maid - Kate Long aka Kaylynn Langerak with a makeover and new name, as I accidentally got a version of empty Pleasantview which still had Bella Goth, Kaylynn and Gordon King. Sweet Susan Burb comes over to welcome the neighbours, and Les finally shows his true colours, annoying both Susan and Gretle while they try and play miniature golf in the basement. Prudence Crumplebottom sneaks in but steers clear of Les and drinks the bar dry instead. Then an unsuspecting Sef Darong walks by, but no! He is not safe either! Les tells him to go away with his fabulous film star good looks! Benjamin Burb happens to then come along and like the brown noser he is, compliments Les on his manly aggression... Anything for a free meal, that guy. Not got a clue what Kynda was doing this whole time. She's pregnant, so probably just eating and sleeping.

Anyway! We say goodbye to the Pleasants and hello to the Danders, Marshall and Melinda. Marshall works in the military, and is a very sweet sociable guy. Melinda is in Athletics and a bit meaner but still loves to mingle. Melinda headed off to work leaving Marshall to greet the welcome wagon, consisting of Kynda Pleasant, and Mags and Bob Newbie. Bob had a dastardly plan, probably to steal the newspaper. Luckily his gorgeous wife Mags was there to distract him from such crimes with a bit of booty shaking and pillow fights. Marshall, like the good host he is, made some lovely comforting soup for his guests, which seemed to atttract Gretle Goth, Prudence Crumplebottom and Lina Darong over as well. Victor Goth popped by and was immediatelly unhappy with the company his wife was keeping - Les Pleasant had turned up for his wife too and were all over each other, Bob Newbie was checking out Lina Darong, and he didn't like the look of this military guy. Victor scolded poor Marshall and took his wife home. After a busy day for Marshall, he was happy to have his wife and home to himself again.

Day two of the Baldwin rotation. Benjamin stayed up most of the night teaching Marcus how to walk. I didn't mean to give him Simsomnia but that's sort of what happened. He spent his morning on his day off working on his logic skill on his balcony, looking out at the scenic Belladonna Cove.

Sofia is pet crazy these days. But Ace is already a lot of responsibility, so her parents compromised on a Womrat cage. Sofia has already taken to little Benton.

(Points to anyone who can guess the commonality of the names Ace and Benton!)

Sofia has also been talking a lot on the phone with Sally Riley. Though she hasn't yet had the opportunity to invite her over after school. But for some reason Sally's father stopped by completely unannounced.

I don't remember inviting him in. I don't know who let him in. I don't know how he got here. I just turned around and Timothy Riley was there. Maybe he was checking out the Baldwins to approve of who Sally was befriending. Maybe he's already a family friend.

But I think it's nice that Benjamin has another guy to hang out with. Maybe the Baldwins and Rileys will be close. It will be a long time before I play Timothy. He stayed all the night, and one almost wonders what Sally was doing all that time... I hope he called a nanny.

Also... anyone else find it weird how similar to John Burb he looks? Kind of spooky. Are they like secret twins or something?

Stay safe out there, guys.

Uberhood Pics (33) - Burb

Sally Riley came over to hangout with Lucy.

Benjamin brought Ivan Mole home from school. They are good friends now. I really enjoy all these random friendships developing.

Why does Lucy remind me of Belle from The Beauty and the Beast?

Brad makes some food, and Susan gets ready to become a Lawyer(tm)

In other news, second baby bump!

[bayoubashsims]

For Thanksgiving, Brad and Tiffany Burb decided it would be better if their parents came to Old Town and stayed in a nearby lodge instead of them visiting SimCity. Brad’s parents were more than thrilled! The same cannot be said for Tiffany’s parents. This is the Burb-Marsh family, having dinner.  (click more to read my headcanon on their characteristics)

Benjamin ‘Grampa Ben’ Burb is a retired insurance salesman who spent most of his life selling insurance door-to-door and on the train when he’s on the way to work. He is an honest and spiffy hardworking family man and has lived in their little apartment since he first got married to his sweetheart Susan, whom he met at the local soda shop. He amused her by sticking straws into his nostrils to imitate a walrus, but did not realize the straws were filled with soda and so he sneezed the soda onto her face. She slapped him but then laughed at him, and the rest is history! Both of them now spend their time renting different movies every night and  trying out different restaurants every weekend

Susan ‘Granny Susie’ Burb had worked in the department store of Wrightmann’s for about 40 years when she retired and was known by the frequent customers as Smiley Susan, not because she smiled (she can be a bit of a grouch, really), but because she knew how to chat with the customers. It was she that taught the shy Ben how to schmooze people and made him the way he was. Both Susan and Ben supported Brad on his move to the suburbs, but were both perfectly happy in their old apartment in SimCity. She spoils her grandson Johnny much the same as she spoiled her son Brad. 

Brad Burb grew up in the tough streets of SimCity and had started out as a construction worker, having to commute here and there in the packed trains and buses of SimCity to get from one project to another and then back home. He wanted a healthy life for him and his family and decided that the suburbs would fare them better. Now that he spends his time weeding, watering, and souping, Brad has become absolutely passionate about his garden and the wonders of nature.   

Tiffany Burb (née Marsh) was a trainee clerk under Susan when Brad came by to pick up his mother and Susan played matchmaker to set them up on a date. Despite their differences, they fell in love, married, and had a precocious child named John. Tiffany was college educated but was not pleased by her parents’ demands that she should find a rich husband and follow in one of their footsteps in terms of career. Instead, she wanted to make it on her own and boy, did she! She wasn’t very pleased, however, when they had to move to the suburbs, but she made do as the breadwinner of the family. She leaves her husband on his own to tend to his garden, and keeps herself occupied with her career. 

William ‘Papa Bill’ Marsh is a business executive in the field of finance. Despite the constant crunching of numbers and figures in his job, he has led an exciting life and his romantic exploits are legendary. But when he met Anastasia, he was completely besotted and wooed her for the longest time until she agreed to a marriage--all on her terms. William disapproves of Brad and is not happy that Brad is a house husband and that he had moved the family into the suburbs, and is never short of unwanted opinions on a lot of things.

Anatasia ‘Grandmama’ Marsh is a lawyer who knows her stuff and had to earn her prowess in her business. Still, she was still lucky to have been born as a debutante from a prominent socialite family in SimCity, and had broken many hearts until she met William (after which, she broke some more hearts). She maintains her appearance well and has obviously had work done, and  thinks that the middle class life had taken its toll on her daughter. She is the source of many of Tiffany’s physical insecurities and her past eating disorder, but are both now generally amiable until Anastasia drinks just one too many glasses of Vrodka. 

John ‘Johnny’ Burb had adjusted well to the life in the suburbs and enjoys cycling through the town with his friends and gee whizz, his beloved dog Tucker, whom he thinks is the best dog in the world! Despite his passion for mud, amphibians, reptiles (he loves his pet terrapin, Tonya, which he will use to scare his Grandmama in a matter of seconds in the picture), and the outdoors, he is still very much his mother’s child as his father tends to be distracted with his own business so his mother was the one who had to pay him more attention. Nevertheless, he still looks up to him as well and is at least thankful that his father can still help him with his history homework (a subject that he despises), even if his mother had to often correct them on the dates and names.

Well, that happened super fast for someone with the cuisine OTH to realize their hobby.

Maybe it’s supposed to happen this fast but I wouldn’t know as maya is the first/only born in game sim I’ve ever had with Cuisine as an OTH; definitely not counting my bae Randy London who’s a Maxis teen.

Edit; ok yes Maya’s dad Xavier was born with an OTH in Cuisine but I felt like a zodiac of Pisces and a OTH of Arts & Crafts suited him more than the Taurus zodiac and an OTH of Cuisine, so I kinda don’t count him.

Sim ages at the start of my Uberhood

I'm using a 2 days = 1 year age mod to play this new Uberhood I'm panning (and actually already started to play when I need pause from the Somersets) and with a really difficult algorithm I have calculated each Sim's age with the default aging system and translated it into their age with the mod, all with the help of SimPE (I have quite a lot of free time currently xD). So to keep track of everyone's start age, here's my masterpost, it's simply for my own convenience. I plan to make every name a link that leads you to the chronological tag (that didn't work, there seems to be a link-limit?).
